Plenary Lecture 1
Mathematically Modelled Process of Resonant Absorption of Environmental Xenobiotics Harmonic Oscillation by Linear Structures
Professor Cornelia Aida Bulucea University of Craiova Faculty of Electrical Engineering
ROMANIA
E-mail: abulucea@gmail.com
Abstract: The study of any system, including biological systems, usually entails an analysis of inputs and outputs, and system behaviour can be assessed on basis of mathematical modelling and simulation. For an environmental xenobiotic source with an assumed harmonic behaviour, the xenobiotic concentration evolution within a biological system could be determined, assuming an analogy with a linear structure characterized by xenobiotic compounds of both dissipating and accumulating types. One could hope to show that a mathematical model described by a differential equation of order two with concentrated parameters could be accepted for a complex process of an environmental xenobiotic absorption by a linear structure. In line with this idea, one could define a hypothetical situation in which, from an environmental xenobiotic source with harmonic behaviour, the xenobiotic is absorbed by the biologic organism modelled as a system with a linear structure. The simulation diagram for the spatial vector of concentration, as resultant oscillation wave depicting the resonant absorption process of the environmental xenobiotic has been determined on basis of MATLAB software with SIMULINK and SimPowerSystems extensions. The results determine the variation in time of the spatial vector of concentration as periodical, with the wave shape determined by taking into consideration a modulation of the main excitation harmonic provided by the xenobiotic, and the resulting high frequency modulating signal on the basis of elements specific to a xenobiotic absorption circuit. Through consideration of a hypothetic simulation diagram for the spatial vector of xenobiotic concentration in a biological system, this study aims to demonstrate the need for joint efforts by researchers in electrical and environmental engineering, medicine and computing for enhancing knowledge of the impacts of environmental xenobiotics on humans and other life forms.

Computer Analysis of a One-Piece Elastic Coupling
Associate Professor Cristian Silviu Simionescu Department of Engineering Sciences and Management
Faculty of Engineering – Braila
“Dunarea de Jos” University from Galati ROMANIA
E-mail: Cristian.Simionescu@ugal.ro
Abstract: The paper presents a new kind of one piece compensatory coupling which function principle puts it out from all the known categories.
It is also presented the static forces state in the active zone of the coupling.
In order to get the up mentioned aim, it is used the finite element programme (F.E.P.), which determines the characteristic dimensions of the coupling too.
Brief Biography of the Speaker:
I graduated in 1984, Faculty of Machines Construction Technologies and then I worked for 6 years at PROMEX Braila (manufacturer of excavators).
Since 1990 I am working at the “Dunarea de Jos” University from Galati – ROMANIA and now I am Associate Professor.
I also worked in construction as a major shareholder in several companies in 2000-2007 period.
As a teacher, I have guided many graduates who are now valued at their workplace.

Plenary Lecture 3
Smart Prosthetic Hand Technology at Idaho State University
Professor D. Subbaram Naidu, PhD, PE, Fellow IEEE Measurement and Control Engineering Research Center
Idaho State University, USA E-mail: naiduds@isu.edu
Abstract: Over 1.2 million people in America have missing limbs resulting from combat and non-combat operations.
The availability of artificial limbs will help these people to lead a better normal life. The United States (US) Department of Defense embarked on a research program to “fund prosthetics research” to revolutionalize upper-body prosthetics and to develop artificial arms that will “feel, look and perform” like a real arm guided by the central nervous system.
The overall goal of the research on Smart Prosthetic Hand Technology that has been going on at Idaho State University is to develop a smart prosthetic hand using intelligent strategies for electromyographic (EMG) signal extraction, analysis, identification, kinematic synthesis, and embedded hierarchical real-time systems and control by fusion of soft computing and hard computing techniques. A novel cellular in vitro model is developed to address putative problems of cell signaling and biocompatibility. The identification algorithm using a new sensor array, and a hybrid estimation algorithm are investigated and different categories of amputation level are simulated. Strategies on grasping and manipulation involving human-robot interaction are developed to complement the EMG signals. The fusion of soft and hard control synergetic strategy alleviates the present problems associated with prosthetic devices.
Investigations into the issues of the inflammatory responses of cells/tissues in response to an artificial implant and the interference with signaling of the artificial implant, the design of our in-vitro model ultimately improve the design and construct a functional and biocompatible artificial limb. The research includes both simulation and experimentation.
